May 2020

I started by stamping several images from my SSS artsy shapes stamp set. I stamped the images in lovely lipstick, soft suede, call me clover and daffodil delight. Then I added the sentiment in call me clover.

I die cut the card front with my MFT wonky stitched rectangles and then backed with a piece of lovely lipstick before adhering to the card base. I finished it off with a few rhinestones.

I chose to go with ribbon, emboss, birthday. I started by stamping some balloons in soft colors. Then I added the sentiment and some balloon strings. The stamps came from two different sets of stamps (SSS big birthday wishes – 2015 and Paper Smooches sentiment sampler) that I have had for more than five or six years.

Then I embossed the white card stock (with my linen plate) and added an embossed strip of X's under the sentiment before adding my pool party ribbon.
